Addresses weak chins or deformities, Modify the chin’s size and shape to enhance facial proportions and aesthetics. Chin augmentation results in a more balanced and attractive profile.
Chin augmentation is a cosmetic procedure that enhances the size, shape, and overall appearance of the chin. The surgery improves facial harmony and balance by altering the chin’s structure, creating a more aesthetically pleasing profile.
This procedure aims to achieve a stronger, more defined chin or correct existing deformities.
Chin augmentation is an effective way to enhance facial harmony and balance. To achieve optimal results and minimise potential complications, identify your suitability for the procedure.
Chin augmentation can be achieved through various surgical and non-surgical methods tailored to individual needs and preferences. These techniques offer different levels of invasiveness and permanence.
Surgical chin augmentation involves making an incision inside the mouth or under the chin and using chin implants or bone repositioning to achieve the desired chin shape. It offers long-lasting results and can address more significant chin deformities.
Chin implants are biocompatible materials, often made of silicone or porous polyethene, that are surgically inserted to enhance the chin’s projection and shape. Chin implants provide permanent results and can be customised to suit the patient’s facial proportions.
Non-surgical chin augmentation uses dermal fillers injected into the chin area to enhance its appearance temporarily. Less invasive and has a faster recovery time, but the results are temporary and may require periodic maintenance.
Fat grafting utilises the patient’s own fat, harvested from another area of the body, to enhance the chin. A minimally invasive option that offers natural-looking results and has the added benefit of using the patient’s own tissue.
